Am at work with splitting headache and can't remember what I can and can't take for a bit of relief.

Secretary will be going out on errands soon and I'm too lazy to go myself so hoping for a quick response guys.

you can take paracetamol....

solpadeine (has paracetamol, codeine and caffeine in) if really desperate and only occasionally.

co-codamol (codeine and paracetamol) is very safe in pregnancy and I've had to take it for migraines this pregnancy, it works a WHOLE lot better than just paracetamol.

Thanks Hockeymum,

Took some paracetomol but it only took the edge of it and I had to just wait until it wnet at tea time.

Will remember the co-codamol if it recurs
